I agree, storing with an offset is better here, e.g. prefer `2022-03-13T08:00-04:00` over `2022-03-13T12:00Z` when the regional time zone of the event location

I agree, storing with an offset is better here, e.g. prefer `2022-03-13T08:00-04:00` over `2022-03-13T12:00Z` when the regional time zone of the event location was UTC-4 when the event occurred.
Why? As instants they are both equivalent, but one carries additional information, namely the time that was on the wall where and when the event happened.
Fixed offsets will never change, so this really is a frozen snapshot
